Event: AWS Serverless Roadshow – Hands-on Workshops

Surely, some of you have contemplated how you would survive the possible Zombie apocalypse or how you would build your exciting new startup to disrupt the transportation industry when Unicorn haven is uncovered. Well, there is no need to worry; I know just the thing to get you prepared to handle both of those scenarios: the AWS Serverless Computing Workshop Roadshow.

With the roadshow’s serverless workshops, you can get hands-on experience building serverless applications and microservices so you can rebuild what remains of our great civilization after a widespread viral infection causes human corpses to reanimate around the world in the AWS Zombie Microservices Workshop. In addition, you can give your startup a jump on the competition with the Wild Rydes workshop in order to revolutionize the transportation industry; just in time for a pilot’s crash landing leading the way to the discovery of abundant Unicorn pastures found on the outskirts of the female Amazonian warrior inhabited island of Themyscira also known as Paradise Island.

These free, guided hands-on workshops will introduce the basics of building serverless applications and microservices for common and uncommon scenarios using services like AWS Lambda, Amazon API Gateway, Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon S3, Amazon Kinesis, AWS Step Functions, and more. Let me share some advice before you decide to tackle Zombies and mount Unicorns – don’t forget to bring your laptop to the workshop and make sure you have an AWS account established and available for use for the event.
